Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

Chapter 259 Confidentiality

259 Heart to Heart

"Oh? The First Militia Division has begun its attack?

Come on, let's go take a look. "

Ye Qingshan immediately became interested and rushed to the front line with Zhou Pingkou, Xiao Wusheng and others.

On the way, Ye Qingshan noticed that Zhou Pingkou was a little depressed, and then said, "Don't worry.

You will have to deal with the Japanese Sixth Mixed Brigade behind them.

The First Militia Division is not strong enough to defeat these two thousand devils."

After hearing this, Zhou Pingkou nodded slightly and said, "I know.

Old Ye, you want to use the two thousand Japanese remnants of the Sixth Mixed Brigade in the encirclement to hone this new militia division so that they can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible."

"As long as you know.

This militia division is of great significance to us.

He was the first new force formed entirely of trained militia.

A force that only obeys my orders.

Instead, as before, I trained these militiamen in the rear and supplemented them to the various national army units on the front line to provide them with blood transfusions.

So what does that mean to us?

It's just making wedding dresses for others.

So, this First Militia Division is my attempt.

If they can be formed into an army and become combat-ready as quickly as possible, I will later form a second and third new army like this.

Instead of sending the trained soldiers to other national army units,

Do you understand what I mean?"

Ye Qingshan turned his head and looked at Zhou Pingkou meaningfully.

At this time, Zhou Pingkou was a little stunned and looked at Ye Qingshan in shock.

Seeing Zhou Pingkou's expression, Ye Qingshan understood that the other party understood the deep meaning of his words.

Zhou Pingkou was a smart man, so he naturally understood what Ye Qingshan meant.

"Old Ye, you are not planning to set up a new camp, are you?"

Zhou Pingkou smiled awkwardly and said something jokingly.

Ye Qingshan in front didn't move. He stood there and looked at him straight with an expressionless face.

Ye Qingshan did not directly answer Zhou Pingkou's question, but asked: "Old Zhou, what do you think after the battle of Nanjing?

Can I still go back?

I have no choice, I have to find a way out for myself.

I don't want to be hidden away after I go back and never have the chance to fight the Japanese on the battlefield again.

It would be better to kill me.

So, you have to understand me.

I have only told you this.”

After hearing what Ye Qingshan said, Zhou Pingkou's expression became serious, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Ye Qingshan was not in a hurry and walked slowly towards the front battlefield.

Also waiting for Zhou Pingkou's reply.

As one of Ye Qingshan's most trusted officers.

Ye Qingshan hopes that Zhou Pingkou will follow him when the time comes.

So, today, Ye Qingshan confided to him for the first time his thoughts on future plans.

But Ye Qingshan cannot force the other party if Zhou Pingkou has other ideas.

Ye Qingshan could only respect it.

Zhou Pingkou's situation is somewhat different from that of Lu Dahai, Wang Dachuan and others.

Guys like Lu Dahai and Wang Dachuan are all rough guys, and they are completely devoted to Ye Qingshan.

Ye Qingshan didn't even need to tell them in advance, because they knew that these people would definitely go with him when the time came.

But Zhou Pingkou was a national army officer with ideals and ambitions, so he wanted him to be bound to him in the future.

Ye Qingshan was not absolutely sure.

That's why Ye Qingshan wanted to get an answer from him today.

Zhou Pingkou followed Ye Qingshan for a short distance.

Zhou Pingkou understood very well what Ye Qingshan said.

As one of Ye Qingshan's confidants, he knew about Ye Qingshan's attempt to seize power.

Therefore, Zhou Pingkou was not surprised by Ye Qingshan's choice.

A minute later, Ye Qingshan stopped and turned to look at Zhou Pingkou.

Zhou Pingkou knew that the time Ye Qingshan gave him to think was up.

He had already made up his mind, and he saluted and shouted, "Sir, ever since the Battle of Songhu.

I swore an oath the day I started following you.

I will follow the general all my life, fight hard to kill the enemy, and never betray him."

"OK!"

Ye Qingshan laughed.

After hearing Zhou Pingkou's answer, I knew that Zhou Pingkou had made a decision.

Willing to follow him.

"Don't let more people know about this."

Ye Qingshan then gave instructions.

"I see."

Zhou Pingkou nodded.

“As for Old Sun, please find some time to give him some fresh air.

Look at his attitude.

If he disagrees, that's fine.

We are brothers, let’s part ways in peace.”

Ye Qingshan then continued to speak to Zhou Pingkou.

At this time, the two people controlled most of Ye Qingshan's direct troops.

Zhou Pingkou and Sun Mingxu are the two people whose attitudes Ye Qingshan must determine.

If the other party is unwilling to follow him, Ye Qingshan will transfer them away from the existing troops.

It is impossible to keep one's own troops in their hands.

“Old Ye, don’t worry.

There is no problem with Lao Sun either."

"Are you so sure?"

"certainly.

In fact, Lao Sun and I have already guessed about your future arrangements.

If Lao Sun didn't want to, he would have taken the initiative to request to leave the current troops.

Don't worry, just do what you need to do.

As long as you don't change your original intention, don't betray your country and surrender to the enemy, and continue to fight the devils, we old brothers will always stand behind you."

"Haha, then I feel relieved."

When Ye Qingshan heard what Zhou Pingkou said, he finally felt relieved.

After talking, the two of them started to open up to each other.

"Old Ye, you have been expanding the army, and Old Sun and I have received so many extra weapons and ammunition.

In fact, you are just preparing for a rainy day.

Now, the newly formed militia division should be your last resort.

So, you plan to have a decisive battle with the devils?"

"Ok!"

Ye Qingshan nodded.

“The battle of Nanjing cannot continue like this.

We can't afford to waste time.

The supply line on the Yangtze River alone supports the food, drink, defecation and urination of hundreds of thousands of people in our city.

It won't last long.

Therefore, the decisive battle with the Japanese will not last too long.

Otherwise, the last batch of water beads I purchased from the Russians had not arrived yet.

Several newly formed militia divisions have not yet taken shape.

I want this counterattack to turn into a general attack.

What a great opportunity this is! The Japanese ammunition supplies haven't arrived yet.

Today's counterattack will turn into a decisive battle with the Japanese.

Without the support of bombers and heavy artillery from the Japs, our chances of winning are very high.

It's just a pity.

By the time we are ready, the ammunition supplies from the Japanese should have arrived.

Therefore, the final decisive battle will probably be very tragic.

It is hard to say whether we can succeed.

If the battle of Nanjing fails, we will probably die here.

My subsequent plan is useless.”

Ye Qingshan sighed.

Nothing is perfect, and Ye Qingshan can actually accept the current situation.

At least, after a month of preparation, Ye Qingshan has more cards in his hand.

If we really fight a decisive battle with the Japanese, we still have a certain chance of winning.
